if statement in choice? (another question)

[junna]

Hi!

umm okay. I have a question...say

you have already encountered one choice
eg:

Code: Select all

menu: 
   "Left"
   "Right"

but you'll end up with having to pick a choice that is the same on both ends.
for 'left' and 'right' choice.

Code: Select all

menu:
  "sink"
  "swim"

However, it is based on your earlier choice (left/right) that defines which set of the next options (different sets of choices for "sink" and "swim" unlike the same "sink" or "swim" choice for "left" and "right") you'll encounter.

Is there an easy way for me to say in code which menu is to come out? Or do I have to separate it oune by one?

maybe you can use a list? I'll write some code, wait a bit.

EDIT:
here's what I think you wanted to do:

Code: Select all

label start:
    #left is 1, right is 2, correct_path defines the right path, if the player chooses a different one he has to start over
    #the correct path in this one is left, left, right, left, left, left, right
    $ correct_path=[1,1,2,1,1,1,2]
    $ numberofsteps=0
    jump maze

label maze:
    if numberofsteps==len(correct_path):
        jump mazeend
    menu: 
        "Left":
            "I go to the left"
            if correct_path[numberofsteps]==1:
                $ numberofsteps+=1
                jump maze
            else:
                jump mazefail
        "Right":
            "I go to the right"
            if correct_path[numberofsteps]==2:
                $ numberofsteps+=1
                jump maze
            else:
                jump mazefail
label mazefail:
    "fail"
    "start over"
    $ numberofsteps=0
    jump maze

label mazeend:
    "YOU WIN!!"

EDIT 2:
Oops, I didn't read it completely, if you want to make different choices available or not depending on the previous choose, you may make them depend on the number of steps. For example, if you want to make it possible for the steps number 4 and 6, you make an if statement that looks like:

Code: Select all

if numberofsteps in [4,6]

Err...if I understand correctly, you want to have only two menus, where the options in the second menu change depending on the choice made in the first menu? You can do that with if statements if you really want to, but depending on how complicated the menus are it might be simpler to just separate the second menu into two (without if statements). But if it's not too complicated, then something like this, maybe?

Code: Select all

menu:
    "Which way should I go?"
    "Right!":
        $path = 'right'
        jump path1
    "Left!":
        $path = 'left'
        jump path2

...

menu2:
    "Should I cross the river?"
    "I can jump it!" if path == 'right':
        jump path1fail
    "I can jump it!" if path == 'left':
        jump path2success

...

0_0 ooh.. two options. I'll try both and see if any of these comes out the way I'd want to.

I had a better result using kankan's suggestion!

Thanks to both for your help!

hi

I'm trying to display 2 different menu choice based on a previous decision.
'Count' or 'change'

So I thought it would look like this.

Code: Select all

menu:
        t "{i}Now{/i} what should I do?"
            
        if  path == 'Count'
        
            "{color=#ffffff}Swing{/color}":
                jump Swing
            
            "{color=#ffffff}Jerk{/color}":
                jump Jerk
            
        
        else path == 'Change':
        
            "{color=#ffffff}Metal{/color}":
                jump Metal
            
            "{color=#ffffff}Silver{/color}":
                jump Silver

^^;; apparently not. Could someone help me repair this?

Should be like this:

Code: Select all

menu:
        t "{i}Now{/i} what should I do?"
                            
        "{color=#ffffff}Swing{/color}" if path == 'Count':
            jump Swing
            
        "{color=#ffffff}Jerk{/color}" if path == 'Count':
            jump Jerk
               
        "{color=#ffffff}Metal{/color}" if path == 'Change':
            jump Metal
            
        "{color=#ffffff}Silver{/color}" if path == 'Change':
            jump Silver

ahh... thank you!

I think my brain just trolled itself
